Key Features of the HIX HT Series Heat Press
✅ Precision Pressure System
Unlike standard clamshell presses that use a single-point pressure system, the HT Series features a unique 4” x 5” top pressure plate. This allows for more uniform pressure distribution across the platen – perfect for flawless prints, even on thicker or uneven substrates.
✅ User-Friendly Touchscreen Controls
Adjust your settings with ease using the intuitive LCD touchscreen. Dial in the perfect temperature and time, view real-time pressure readings, and save your most-used settings with convenient user presets. It’s control made simple.
✅ Durable Build & Smooth Operation
Constructed entirely from metal, the HT-400 model includes a 15" x 15" high-performance heating platen and a spring-assisted handle that reduces operator fatigue while delivering 20% more pressure than traditional straight-handle presses.
✅ Even Heat Distribution
At the core of the HT Series is a proprietary aluminum alloy heat casting, manufactured in-house by HIX. This ensures maximum heat retention and transfer, while the floating lower platen guarantees even pressure from corner to corner.
✅ Spacious Clamshell Design
The wide opening makes it easy to load and unload garments quickly, improving workflow in high-volume production environments.
